A working mother-of-three who rarely has time to pamper herself proudly showed off her slim figure in a red lace dress after receiving a stunning ambush makeover.

Sarah Levoir, 36, from Farmington, Minnesota, stood outside the Today plaza on Thursday with her husband Mike and their children Caleb, Elizabeth, and Grace in hopes of being chosen for a makeover on the show.

It was Mike's idea to try and get Sarah a new look, and he told Today fashion correspondent Jill Martin that his wife truly deserved to be treated like a queen for the day.
